Securing commercial buildings

The flexibility offered by a wireless system can be of significant benefit to a commercial/industrial user as the system can be easily amended due to changing needs or new legislation.

Systems can be installed in premises having a limited useful life but where protection is needed. In these circumstances wireless can provide a short-term solution and then be reused in new or replacement premises with the minimum of cost.

wireless can also be used to operate in conjunction with existing systems where it may be difficult or expensive to extend cabling to areas needing coverage. In these circumstances a wireless system can provide the required protection and be linked to the existing main system via a wireless interface.

Properties that are part of the commercial sector form a wide scope of architectural variations. Post 1960 and modern design types are increasingly becoming a design engineers` problem where old systems are at their limit and require replacing. Similarly affected are larger sites where several remote buildings become part of one management system. Networking these presents many problems but wireless can assist greatly in replacing, or at least enhancing, existing stand-alone systems.

Properties of this era provide services logistical problems, e.g.: cable routing, exhausted containment, & decorative upheaval. Upgrades or renewal using fixed wiring can prove costly and disruptive caused by lengthy installation periods, air borne debris, & noise pollution. Wireless systems alleviate a building from a large percentage of this and cause minimum disruption to employees and their daily routines.

wireless fire alarm systems have been used in many types of Commercial and Industrial premises to the benefit of the user. A major factor in the choice of a wireless system has been the financial benefits achieved whether in the low installation cost or in efficiencies made by eliminating down time for the customer's production/sales activities. There are no unusual environmental restrictions in the use of wireless devices and in general terms the wireless system can be directly substituted for a hardwired system
